| - We tried to make reservations about an hour ahead of time but they were booked up for reservations. But not all tables can have a reservation. So we decided to just go anyway and were seated right away. The place is huge and has more tables than I could count. The bar area is also very large with many booths and tables. The menu had so many choices it was hard to decide. So many cajun dishes too.
Our appetizer was shrimp cocktail. It came with 9 shrimp instead of the usual 6 served at most places. The cocktail sauce had a half teaspoon of straight horseradish sauce for those who may want to kick it up a bit. We prefer less kick and dipped around the sauce. It was a great way to start the meal.
My wife and I split a small order of fried shrimp (8). It was served already split in separate plates which was nice. The shrimp were butterflied, light and crispy, delicious. She also ordered the stuffed shrimp and a baked potato loaded. The shrimp were rolled in a rich crab stuffing which was seasoned perfectly. The baked potato was huge, hot and smothered with all kinds of goodies (butter, sour cream, bacon, chives, celery). She ordered the smaller portion that came with two stuffed shrimp. If you get an appetizer this is the size you should get, more than she could eat and she loved every bite.
I ordered the Shrimp Creole. It came with a side of cheese grits with andouille mixed in. The creole was not too spicy like a lot of places. The sauce was full of veggies and chunks of tomato. It was outstanding and worthy of a repeat order.
My wife had a frozen margarita blended and sipped on it throughout dinner. I had Cabernet Sauvignon by the glass. Our server was sweet, spunky, and very attentive. She was enthusiastic and genuinely wanted us to enjoy ourselves and our dinner. We both probably ate too much but everything was cooked and seasoned so well, it was almost impossible to stop eating. A truly memorable meal which these days is hard to find.
